deep in the obama boehner negotiations, they were talking about a proposal with 800 billion in revenue that would come through a somewhat tax reformed process. right now we're seeing the exact opposite. president obama is sticking firm with what he offered in his budget release, or at least in his opening bid and boehner is kind of chasing over obama with more or less compromised proposals saying, why won't you work with me, give more, sacrifice more? look, we're early here and most of the people i talk with in washington are saying we're not going to get deep into this until mid-december at least. if we do a process of kind of incrementally coming from in between the two proposals, you could very easily imagine between obama and boehner on tacks is $1.2 trillion. that's where they end up on mandatory spending, 750. that wouldn't be a shocker either. boehner's opening bid here is not the bid of the side in the stronger position. it's a side desperately trying to get the press to compromise. >> now, michelle whark we don't see in the counteroffer is extension of payroll tax cut, extensi

the tea partiers were fighting as much as with john boehner as barack obama. if you're willing to hold the line and the other sides keep caving, you can get a lot of ground even though you have relatively small numbers and only partial control of one chamber. >> and real quick, john, looking at the nuts and bolts of this deal which has not been approved yet, this congressional committee, we get the first round of cuts, and then the congressional committee, what is that exactly? >> well, it's a bipartisan committee with equal numbers of republicans and democrats who are going to try to sit down and hammer out some kind of a deficit reduction compromise. and if they don't, a series of things happens. including pretty draconian cuts, particularly to the defense budget. and thdomestic programs. that triggers what's supposed to force these people to come up with a plan that can get agreed to in the congress. i'm not sure that anything we've seen in the last three months indicates that there's any kind of plan that that committee can come up with that will be accept
